UNEMPLOYMENT IN BRITAIN

LABOUR MEMBER’S THREAT. LONDON, October o. “Do you think that with all the unemployment there is going to be that friendly feeling in the House of Commons that earned it the name of being the best club in Europe?” asked Mr Patrick Hastings, K.C., a prominent member ot the Labour Party m Parliament, in an address to Ins constituents.

“Do you think that our 140 members am going to allow time to be wasted discussing mere procedure? You will find that there will be something doing. “Those 360 faces opposite the Labour side in the House of Commons represent every large vested interest in the country. but we will see the god of unrestricted private enterprise brought down from his pedestal and replaced by something better.

“We shall demand that nobody be allowed to do a single’ thing in Parliament until some endeavour is made to prevent 1,500,000 unemployed from starving this winter as they did last.”
